A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to a tweet from Aymeric Laporte showing him and Marcelo Bielsa posing for a photograph.
The Frenchman decided to visit Elland Road to visit his old boss.
If Leeds could sign one then who would you prefer?
Laporte
Mendy
Laporte gave Bielsa a shirt with his name on, and the Argentine looked delighted.
Many Leeds fans have used this post to try and convince Laporte to join the Whites next season.
And another one.. ? #MOT @LUFC nos veremos la proxima temporada ?? https://t.co/osbUEbnRFX pic.twitter.com/l2mcd1zUVq

Other Leeds supporters, though, think that he would just be a backup to Liam Cooper and Ben White.
you should come to Leeds aslong as you don’t mind being a backup for Coops and White?

Not going to lie you would be very good cover to Cooper and Ben White

What do we think?
Laporte is the second Manchester City star to visit Elland Road this season after Benjamin Mendy also went to watch Leeds play in January.
Laporte was at Athletic Bilbao when Bielsa was the manager, so it is good to see that the 25-year-old still wanted to go and visit his former manager.
It is very possible that the Manchester City man might have been impressed by what he saw, too – as the Whites recorded their fifth clean sheet in a row in a 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town.
